Answer 1

YOUR life isn’t about your parents dream. What is it that you want? If you were happy doing engineering go back to it, and fast! You can’t support yourself on nothing. Plus who is to say that you can’t get married? When you get married how do you suppose you are going to support your wife and later on children? Why can’t you have both? Stop wasting your life, get happy and do what YOU want!

Answer 2

You have fantastic qualifications and two years work experience in 2 countries! ! ! ! !  What a phenomenal achievement. No wonder you are unhappy sitting idle.  I can understand your disappointment in your parents after all the work, focus and dedication you have put in but please, please do not waste yourself like this.

Don't stay down and low as you are. Focus on getting yourself back into harness and contributing - marriage & children can come later when you meet the right person. For now, put something into the world and start to bloom in yourself again. Good luck in all that you do. UK

Answer 3

Who's life is this yours or your parent's?  You have to live your life according to YOUR dreams not theirs.  You are no longer a child who has to do what his parents wish him to do.  You need to grow up and get a backbone live your own life, stop trying to live your parents.
